The other day, thanks to an invitation from the Moromi .orlando , I had the chance attend a sake event at Takumi-Tei inside EPCOT. It was a dream for any sake lover and a rare opportunity to taste a wide variety of sake while listening directly to the brewers from Japan explain their craft.
Although we simply call it “sake,” each one is delicately shaped by countless factors such as the rice, the water, the yeast, the koji mold, the local climate, the fermentation, aging process and the brewer’s philosophy.
So many delicate elements come together in ways you cannot predict until you actually taste it. That is what makes sake so fascinating and so beautiful. And of course, the pairing with food opens up an entirely new dimension. Sake truly feels like a universe in itself.
This time, breweries from Kyoto Fushimi, Aizu, Iwate and Hyogo brought their Sake with passion (along with the unforgettable energy of the Sakemen team 🤼). Although the event was held in Disney World here in Orlando, it felt like stepping right into Japan.
A heartfelt thank you to Mitsukoshi, Takumi-Tei, Sakemen and all the brewers for creating such a wonderful event, and to Moromi for inviting me!!
